Mark Howell has done a brilliant job in bringing a lot of interested parties together for a meeting about communication for the Dorset Arts Community. I don't think this has ever been achieved before. Please read his letter in the News section of Dorset Artists 2012 on Facebook and let us have any comments before then.

Hello!Here is the news! 9th Swanage Blues FestivalThe first two Swanage blues festivals were held mainly at the Victoria Club in the lower high street near the pier. Sadly the club was taken over and we lost the use of it for our festivals for six years… until now! Yes, the new owners have said that they want to be a major part of the 9th Swanage Blues Festival on 6, 7, 8 March 2009. So the festival is coming home! 15 & 16 November 2008Meanwhile, they’re launching the new look club now called BAR SEVEN on Sunday 16th November at 6pm with THE ROBIN BIBI BAND. Robin and his band will be doing a full-on electric performance, following an acoustic session at the GRAND HOTEL, Swanage the evening before on Saturday 15th November at 8.30pm. I will be making an appearance in a supporting role on piano, and admission is FREE to both events.Please attend if you possibly can. If you can’t, please tell somebody else! Saturday 10 January 2009I’m also planning a gig at the Grand Hotel, Swanage on Saturday 10 January. Watch this space! Prize DrawI’m hoping to instigate the return of our famous Prize Draw with top prizes soon, so if you’re interested in tickets or putting up a prize, please let me know. Festival BadgeThanks to everybody who has suggested there should be a commemorative badge (safety pin type) for the next festival, priced at around £5, to show that purchasers have supported the event financially. Good idea and I’ll be looking for your opinion on that one please. If you would like to submit a design for the first badge, or a logo for the blues festivals, please do! Cheerio for now! And please keep those ideas coming, I can’t do any of this without your support. Thank you. Steve Darringtonwww.stevedarrington.comwww.swanage-blues.org |

A statement from the sponsors: "Cobalt is delighted to be the major sponsor of Swanage Seen Art Trail which is a great asset to Swanage. It illustrates the cultural richness of the Swanage area with work by internationally acclaimed artists; continues the educational legacy from Burt and the other Fathers of the town; and provides another strand for the evolving tourism strategy for Swanage and Purbeck – which can be activity based by following the Trail or passive by enjoying installations on an ad hoc basis. The Art Trail provides a sustainable historical context to the thriving contemporary arts scene."
